From the hilarious, Typical Question on a Local Board thread at The Drake Magazine’s message board-
I was fishing the ********** a few days ago and I noticed a spot in the river that was really white so much so that it stood out clearly. I went over to inspect and picked up a few rocks but found no bug activity. This worried me I don’t know if there is a problem like some kind of disease or something foreign that was introduced into the river. So I went around and picked up a few rocks that had moss and lots of bugs on them, I think they were blue wings, and set them up in this area hoping to revive it. I also kicked up some stuff right above it so it could settle on the rocks and reinvigorate bug life. I am going to the ********** tommorow and I will fill in all the white spots to insure a better fishery for all of us. Has anyone had experience or seen something like this before? I don’t really fish too often but I would hate it if the ********** lost all its insect life it is a really nice place to fish close to home. Would any one like to help me tommrow?

That just sounds made up. Did he actually go through all the bs hazing to be able to post on that board too?

You still bitter about your warm welcome over there, Jim?
I thought it sounded too stupid at first, too. The guy who shared it in that thread says it’s authentic, and appears to be truthful, but who knows. There are a lot of other dumb questions shared there that people have seen on misc. message boards from across the web, but that one tops them all.

Yeah,
On that…, Talk about troll-fests. In my case, I nOObishly deserved what I got. If there were any, even reasonably, useful information available on that board, I may have come back, hat in hand. As it was, I’ll stick to the less ‘cool’ boards and get some info on how to actually catch or tie for fishing. Stripers Online comes to mind. Probably the opposite to the Drake board in how strictly it’s moderated.

That’s the beauty of that board; it’s appreciated the most by people who aren’t looking for how to tie flies or catch fish. When how-to type questions do arise there, the advice given is second to none.
